Downloading a Patch

In order to incorporate the previous changes into the actual ROM, you must download a patch file.

📄 Patch files are in IPS format. After downloading, you must apply the IPS patch manually.

Request a patch by sending a request to the GET /v1/roms/patches endpoint:

bash

curl \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
    -H 'Accept: application/patch' \
    https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/roms/patches

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.addEventListener('load', () => {
    console.log(xhr.response);
});

xhr.open('GET', 'https://api.pkmnapi.com/v1/roms/patches', true);
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer <access_token>');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/patch');
xhr.send(null);
